The 2008 San Diego Comic Con was descended upon by a horde of roaming ‘Sexy Jesus’ to promote the new comedy movie ‘HAMLET 2’ which was written by ‘SOUTH PARK alumi Pam Brady and HAMLET 2 director Andrew Fleming who theaters on August 22nd.
HAMLET 2, which stars Steve Coogan, Catherine Keener, David Arquette and Elizabeth Shue and is a hilariously funny satirical comedy about Dana Marschz (Coogan) a failed actor who seems to becomes an even bigger loser as a high school drama teacher until he decides to save the school drama program for being closed down by writing a very politically incorrect musical ‘sequel’ to William Shakespeare’s classic play Hamlet and creating a new character for the story in the form ‘sexy Jesus’.
HAMLET 2 was a late addition to the 2008 Sundance film festival line-up that became the highest selling independent film with an overnight bidding war being won by Focus Film paying $10 million for the distribution rights.
HAMLET 2 will be premiering in theaters on August 22, 2008.
